CultureLab Episode 6: We’re Biased (with Natalie Johnson)

“Unconscious bias” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot these days. What does it actually mean? Who has it, and can we even fix it if we do?

In this episode of Buffer CultureLab, I got the chance to chat with Natalie Johnson, who answers all our burning questions about bias.

Natalie is an expert in unconscious bias, from analyzing potential bias in companies’ people processes to training employees and managers on how to manage and mitigate bias. As a former People Analyst at Google, Natalie was one of the original facilitators for Google’s unconscious bias training. At her firm Paradigm, she has led hundreds of unconscious bias workshops for thousands of employees around the world (including Buffer!).

Hey Cindy! I’m really glad to hear that; i think I could have talked to Natalie all day! Unconscious bias is fascinating and it does have a huge impact on so much of the structure of our world. So important to be aware of and work on changing!
